Hands Off ✔️

Chapter 20

Beca groaned as she heard the sound of a phone ringing coming from somewhere close by. "Urgh, I knew it was a mistake telling your Mom that I was going to ask you last night", she wrapped her arm across Chloe's body, pulling the redhead closer as she kept her eyes closed.

"I'm pretty sure that's your phone ringing, Mitchell", Chloe smiled when she felt Beca move away from her again in search of her phone.

"Fuck sake", keeping her eyes closed and trying to get back to sleep, Chloe listened to her fiancée rummage through the clothes scattered across the bedroom floor. "Where did I throw my jeans after taking them off last night?"

"I think I saw them fall behind the armchair in the corner when you threw me on the bed", the redhead smirked, opening her eyes to see Beca stood in just a sports bra and boxers while digging her hand into the pants pocket. "Who is it?"

"What do you want, Conrad?", the singer rolled her eyes as she walked back over to climb into bed.

"Do you even know what time it is over there? Have you two stopped mating like rabbits for a second to even breathe since last night?"

Beca pulled her phone away to glance at the time, seeing it flash 15:23pm back at her before speaking again. "How do you even know the night ended like that?"

"Because your new fiancée couldn't help but show off that unbelievably beautiful ring on her Instagram. Now I've got Aubrey over here jealous because she doesn't have as many diamonds, so thanks a lot that, Becs"

The singer couldn't help but laugh a little at her best friend now, watching Chloe roll over to cuddle into her side. "Well, I guess you can say that it did get a happy ending last night and I guess throughout this morning too", she smiled again, wrapping her free arm around her fiancée and thinking about how much of a perfect fit it still felt like after four years together.

"Okay, well I was just calling to check you were both still alive and hadn't died from exhaustion after all that sexual activity"

"We was actually catching up on some sleep before you rudely woke us up"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm getting your hint. I'll talk to you later, killer"

Beca hung up the phone and placed it on the side table, before she slid further down into bed, breathing a deep sigh of relaxation. "So, how many people did you tell exactly before you asked me last night?", the soft whisper of Chloe's voice filled the otherwise silent room.

"Well I guess your Dad told your Mom at some point after I asked him for his blessing and then I-"

"Wait", Chloe sat up to look down at her singer now, "When did you even ask him for his blessing?"

"When we went home for Thanksgiving", Beca smiled up at the shocked expression that stared back at her, her fingertips running soft patterns up and down the bare back of her beautiful redhead. "Chlo, I've had the ring for nearly four months"

"What?!", she jumped even more now, making the whole bed bounce a little, "And it took you this long to ask, did you have second thoughts or something?", Chloe's smile faded for a quick second before she spotted the ring on her finger shine up at her when it caught the sunlight seeping through the curtains.

"No, I never had second thoughts", Beca sat up to pull her fiancée closer again, "You're not gonna believe this but I had three proposals planned before I actually finally did it last night", she laughed, "things just kept getting in the way"

"What sort of things?"

"Christmas morning...", Beca raised an eyebrow, watching the cogs turn inside Chloe's mind as she thought back to that day.
